Author's Note: After a long hiatus from this sort of thing, I'm back to my favorite thing to do - short form drabbling and oneshotting, so once again, every drabble in this set will be a short drabble featuring South Park characters. Some will be more dramatic and some more funny - and unlike my other drabble collection, this is all going to be new stuff.
Friends are welcome to make requests, just remember they might take a while, and no original characters here yet. Once I've done several of these, I may change my mind. :)
I chose to start off with my favorite couple, as it's the one you're all most likely to read before going on. I've always loved these two dorks together, and it's hard to believe now they're canon, too! A special thanks to Rachel (Mad_Cow5678) for the theme recommendation, and Blame Canada for helping me figure out the right ending.

South Park
"Bleeding"
A Revin (Kevin Stoley x Red) Drabble
by John
"Oh shit, are you bleeding?"
Kevin Stoley sat up on the ground, surrounded by his two closest friends as Red covered her mouth, her green eyes wide in terror, her fiery red locks blowing in the wind, while a few feet away, the blonde bowl-cut framed Bradley's face as he covered his eyes. "N-no, I'll be fine." Kevin insisted, trying to get up.
"Dude, don't be stupid." Red rolled her eyes,
"Sorry, I-I thought- I mean, I wasn't *aiming* for you face, I just thought-" Bradley wasn't sure how to explain himself or what had happened. He was kind of stuck. "You won't tell my folks about this will you?"
Kevin tried to get up again, "It's okay, dude, hang on, let me just-"
"Stay there. You're doing it all wrong." Red kneeled down by Kevin before he could get on his feet, moved one hand toward Kevin's chin, a moment that made him raise an eyebrow, before moving the other to the top of his head and pulled his head forward over the ground.
"Is it safe to look?" Bradley called out nervously.
"Be more careful next time, jeez." Red called over to Bradley a bit snippily, before lowering her voice, "Your nose is bleeding. Try to lean forward and let it bleed a little. If you pull back, the blood just seeps into your throat." she warned.
"R-right..." Kevin mumbled, keeping his head in position, "Th-thanks."
"Don't mention it." Red quipped quickly like it was nothing, before turning over to Bradley, "Run in the house and grab us some paper towels or something, jeez. Make yourself useful." she quipped, having no patience right now for Bradley's relative lack of action.
"Yes, ma'am!" Bradley saluted and ran towards the house to get something to help with the wound.
"You'll be fine in a few minutes." Red advised, staying right there kneeling by him, eyes narrow, "Just try to relax and breathe, okay?" she replied, lowering her voice. "Think about flowers or butterflies or rainbows or lightsabers or whatever. Just chill out."
"Right." Kevin mumbled out, but he wasn't feeling too tense at this point. Her confident direction was a little relaxing at this point, but hell, she seemed like the one who was tense.
"Where are those paper towels, Bradley?" Red called out.
"R-right here." Bradley approached, holding an entire roll of paper towels, "I came back as fast as I could. How many do we need?"
"Just ball one up or two and stuff it under Kevin's nose, okay?" she advised, "Absorb the blood until the bleeding stops. He didn't break your nose, did he, Kev?"
"N-no, it's fine..." Kevin replied, voice low, as Bradley approached and gave her a paper towel. The red-haired girl let go of his face and balling up a towel for under his nose.
"It's not as comfortable for this kind of thing as toilet paper, but that would've taken more explanation. Speed's a factor." she told him quickly, "Just think of something relaxing for a bit, okay?"
Kevin didn't quite hear her, distracted for the moment, noticing the way her eyes looked back at him, narrowed and serious, deep green, as if the situation was dangerous, the way her silky red hair fell over her shoulders carelessly, without her usual careful attention, the way the sunlight framed her face...
"Are you in your happy place?" she asked, her voice almost distant in the wind.
Kevin wasn't sure if he knew how to tell her that he felt like he was already there.
The End
